MATLAB: How to plot quadratic equation with 2 variable

Question

f(x,y)= 1/2*x^2 + x*y + y^2 + y

i tried plotting using Fimplicit function but i am getting some error. copied below

>> fimplicit3(@(x,y) 1/2*x.^2+ x*y+ y.^2+y)

Warning: Function behaves unexpectedly on array inputs. To improve performance, properly vectorize your function to

return an output with the same size and shape as the input arguments.

Also ince this is quadratic equation i was expecting a concave or convex figure but i am getting a cylindrical image.

can anyone explain…??

Answer 1

You need to use fsurf() and use element-wise operators in your function handle

fsurf(@(x, y) 1./2*x.^2+ x.*y+ y.^2+y)
